Hi This library would be mainly useful for a bandwidth monitor tool called bmon[1]. I hoped I could package it by myself, but encountered a problem which I wasn't able solve with my current skills. libnl is at the moment heavily under development (0.x branch) and the upstream author doesn't want to increase the soname after breaking the binary compatibility[2] until the ABI gets stable (IMHO comprehensible). Usually one would link the application statically against the library, but according to the author that isn't possible either.
Perhaps somebody with more experience is able to solve this problem... Anyway, I'll change my ITP into an RFP and I'll re-evaluate the situation in a few months. Thanks!
